Fri May 11, 2012 2:38 pm Isao Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing SACD |
  |
A dream come true for me.
Columbia Music Entertainment Japan will release the Ultimate Edition SACD (COGQ-59) of this Classic on 20th June under the title Tsuki no Hikari = Light Of The Moon = Claire De Lune = Snowflakes Are Dancing  .
1 Hybrid SACD disc, no cover image or titles yet but with a bit of luck there may be a bonus track or two.

His finest album, IMO. It was, along with Stratosfear, Mirage and Oxygene, one of the albums that made me fall in love with synthesizers. Brilliant!

Thanks for the image Juta, looks like these reissues will have different covers, for some I don't care but others like Daphins et Chloe, Grand Canyon and Bermuda Triangle were great.
Even with those it was difficult to call any as originals because the albums were released at the same time in different countries with different covers and even titles. I'll enjoy the music though

Thanks Juta, strange picking the art of Henri Rousseau when Hiroo Isono who did Daphnis et Chloe is doing similar art these days.
But this happened before, in 1974 Osibisa used HR's art for Osibirock

I'm almost tempted. This was the album that started it all off for me.
If I had my grumpy hat on I'd say changing the title and cover, and adding bonus tracks in between the original ones, could potentially water it down. But I won't

 , yes the usual warts,
but this is an odd one coz the album was released with 3 different covers and titles in different countries at the same time (then variations reissues)  so which one's the original? The Japanese/UK one (blue with the face) I would say.
Title wise, it was Debussy, Clair de lune or Snowflakes are dancing.
I'll take this new one any time and will be easy to skip/ignore the extra stuff if it does not fit in while admiring any of the older covers
